Default send data in PCL6

I have Samsung ML-2570 printer which supports only PCL 6 language.
I have procedure on Unix server, which send to several shared printers
text with escape sequences. My shared printers had PCL5 or 5e but now
the recent ones are PCL 6 !
I noted in strange behaviour, here's my text file:

esc(s4B bla bla bla ..... esc(s0B

'esc' is the left small arrow which rapresents escape char.
These commands enable BOLD characters.

My output prints:

s4B bla bla bla ..... s0B

If I typed at start of text file one of these codes , output is OK:

esc&l26A : set A4 type
esc*p1Y: move cursor

It likes that, one of these two codes permits to recognize escape
codes for bold char,
How is't possible to recognize only BOLD escape codes without setting
above other codes ?

Are this printers really PCL6 or just PCLXL? I was under the
impression that PCL6 = PCL5e + PCLXL.
